Hello @rwbpet ...
Sorry to see that your question has been sitting out here for so long without a response. I am a little confused by the subject line of your question. Commons is a repository of thousands upon thousands of shared content items (full courses, modules, pages, assignments, discussions, etc.) that Canvas users share with the community. Commons is not a place where you design course pages and build your content. That is all done first within a Canvas course shell. Then, when you are ready, you can then share any or all parts of your course to Canvas Commons. You can share those pieces of your course with other Canvas users around the world, with only people at your school, or privately (so you are the only one who can access it within Commons).
Since this topic is more than three years old, you may have already found help and have figured things out. But, if not, and if you still have questions, please come back to this topic to let us know here in the Community...thanks!
@rwbpet For Commons to work, you need to create a course space or share an item. I would recommend reaching out to your IT department for assistance.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
